Long ago, dragons were
hunted to near extinction by the Order of St. George, a legendary
society of dragon slayers. Hiding in human form and growing their
numbers in secret, the dragons of Talon have become strong and cunning,
and they're positioned to take over the world with humans none the
wiser.

Ember and Dante Hill are the only sister and brother known
to dragonkind. Trained to infiltrate society, Ember wants to live the
teen experience and enjoy a summer of freedom before taking her destined
place in Talon. But destiny is a matter of perspective, and a rogue
dragon will soon challenge everything Ember has been taught. As Ember
struggles to accept her future, she and her brother are hunted by the
Order of St. George.

Soldier Garret Xavier Sebastian has a
mission to seek and destroy all dragons, and Talon's newest recruits in
particular. But he cannot kill unless he is certain he has found his
prey: and nothing is certain about Ember Hill. Faced with Ember's
bravery, confidence and all-too-human desires, Garret begins to question
everything that the Order has ingrained in him: and what he might be
willing to give up to find the truth about dragons.

Let me just go ahead and point out the one thing that really drew me to this book... dragons. Yes. It's that simple. I'm a HUGE sucker for anything involving dragons. They're probably one of my favorite mythical creatures, and to be honest, they're the only reason I need to justify getting a book. The synopsis sounds cool as a whole though. But mostly, dragons. (:
